Straw Dogs? STOP MAKING REMAKES of GOOD MOVIES!!! A classic, with a level of disturbing freakyness that no one but Peckinpah could muster, even if the original was not a completely perfect movie, it was so distinctively chilling that any remake would pale in comparison.

I agree. There has been one good remake and that was The Parent Trap. The rest have been awful. Leave the classics alone!!!

Am I the only one who thinks the Hillary Swank movie sounds like someone took the start of the relationship between Larry (Robert Downey Jr) and Ally from Ally McBeal and juiced it a little to make it a whole movie? Not that it's a bad thing but my mind went straight to that.
